THIS WAS A WELL- ATTENDED CONTEST WITH 12 CONTESTANTS AND MANY SPECTACULAR FLIGHTS IN THE SMALL AND LARGE RUBBER EVENTS. BOB WARMANN HAD A GREAT 3 ½ MINUTE IN THE CATAPULT GLIDER EVENT WITH THE MODEL RECOVERED BY MIKE KIRDA. LARGE STICK/CABIN EVENT 1ST-3RD PLACE WERE ONLY SEPARATED BY 1 SECONDS WITH JIM GERSZWESKI WINNING BOTH LARGE AND SMALL RUBBER EVENTS. THE FLYING WEATHER WAS VERY GOOD WITH LIGHT WINDS FROM THE SOUTHEAST 3-7 MPH ALL DAY. FOR MOST OF US IT WAS A BIT HOT AND HUMID IN THE MID 80’S. THE 8 FLIERS IN SMALL STICK/CABIN IS THE MOST IN A SINGLE EVENT IN MANY YEARS. IT WAS ALSO GOOD TO SEE SOME NEW FLIERS LIKE STEVE POLLINA WHO CAME ALL THE WAY FROM ADAMS, WISCONSIN. ALL HAD A GREAT TIME FLYING AND CONVERSATIONS WITH FELLOW MODELERS WHOM ARE ALL PASSIONATE ABOUT THE SAME HOBBY. HOPE TO SEE YOU ALL BACK FOR THE BONG EAGLES ANNUAL IN AUGUST. JEFF ANNIS
